    I've tried to watch it a few times, found it totally dull and binned it.

    Well, despite all the things I said earlier, I thought that was a cracking episode, one of the best. Nice to see a show go out on a high.

    Game Board was wonderful.

    Waste opportunity

    I'm completely disappointed by this show: real star cast it should be so much better.

    I kind of like it but find it to be really over the top and stupid at the same time. I really like the 2 main characters' interactions with each other, but I find Jen and the boss[es] REALLY grate on me. And Noel Fielding's character is just a walking cliche - trite and dull.

    It feels like a BBC3 comedy with 2 really good characters plonked in the middle to me, which is a real shame because those two ARE great.

    Having experienced just that (opening a member of the senior mismanagement team's laptop for them) It was funny.

    Its the interface between Users who have an opinion of their own competence and the IT people who have a very different opinion.

    Unless you have done desk side support many of the jokes will miss. You probably only deal with senior users who have an IQ above a turnip.
